Barack Obama speaks to American students at the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year:

text of speech

"If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable."Lucius Annaeus Seneca
(3 B.C. - 65 A.D.)

TIME TO TAKE STOCK

Another school year is underway and it is time to reflect on who we are and what we want to accomplish. You have the opportunity to do so by introducing yourself and writing out your goals for the school year. Make sure that your writing reflects the many interesting aspects of yourself and add detail so that others can get to know you better. Then post considerate and thoughtful commentary below 5 other students' essays.

Now it is your chance to speak to the world!
